Cold-water plunges and your health: The science is inResearchers have examined the increasingly popular practice of cold-water immersion – things like taking a cold shower or sitting in an ice bath – to see whether there’s any scientific basis for claiming that it has a positive effect on health and well-being.

Your Tonsils Can Actually Come Back After You've Had Them RemovedThe human body is composed of over 37 trillion cells, each with a limited lifespan.

Study finds stem-like T cells key to lasting immune response in cancer, chronic diseasesProlonged illnesses like cancer and chronic infections often leave the immune system in a state of exhaustion, where its frontline defenders—T cells—lose their ability to function effectively. Research, led by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute) and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center (Peter Mac), have identified a rare type of immune cells, called stem-like T cells, that holds the key to maintaining powerful, long-term immune responses.

Homeowner Who Refused To Relocate Now Lives In The Middle Of A MotorwayHuang Ping, a resident of Jinxi, a town southwest of Shanghai, is living a cautionary tale that has captured the attention of many. A few years ago, h

DeepSeek’s Safety Guardrails Fail Every Test Researchers Threw at Its AI ChatbotThe Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek R1 experienced a complete failure during safety testing after recent headlines about its reasoning abilities. The rese

Could AI kill human creativity?Artificial intelligence (AI) was designed to solve problems, enhance productivity, and push the boundaries of innovation. But since the rise of generative AI such as ChatGPT and DALL-E, people have had concerns about its potential to overshadow or replace key human skills.

Water scarcity poses risk to Mediterranean marine life and economyThere is a critical link between reduced river flow into the Mediterranean and the health of the Mediterranean marine ecosystems. New research underscores the urgency of integrating water resource management to properly safeguard the rich biodiversity of the seas and ocean and the economies it supports.

First major chunk breaks off world's biggest icebergAn enormous chunk has broken off the world's largest iceberg, in a possible first sign the behemoth from Antarctica could be crumbling, scientists told AFP on Friday.

Cracks in Greenland Ice Sheet grow more rapidly in response to climate change, study warnsThe Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world's second largest body of ice.

Women speak 3,000 more words daily than men during midlife, study showsThe stereotype that women are much more talkative than men is pervasive across many cultures, but a widely reported study by University of Arizona researchers in 2007 refuted the claim, finding that men and women speak roughly the same number of words per day—around 16,000.

People prefer meat alternatives if they are significantly cheaper than real meat, study showsOnly a few people fundamentally oppose eating plant-based meat alternatives, a recent survey of 2,100 customers in the U.S. shows. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was conducted by marketing researchers from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), Humboldt University Berlin and Georg August University Göttingen.

High-yield rice breed emits up to 70% less methaneRice cultivation is responsible for around 12% of global methane emissions, and these emissions are expected to increase with global warming and as the human population continues to grow.

New genus and species within Ornithomimidae dinosaur family identified in MexicoA team of geologists, paleontologists, and climate scientists with members from institutions in Mexico, the U.S., and Spain has identified a new genus and species within the Ornithomimidae family. In their paper published in the journal Cretaceous Research, the group describes their study of the ancient ostrich-like dinosaur, and where it fits in with its family tree.

Extreme Heat Could Kill Millions of People in EuropeExtreme heat could kill as many as 2.3 million people in Europe unless countries get better at cutting emissions.

Climate warming leads to more frequent tree reproduction at expense of growth, long-term study suggestsA new long-term study reveals alarming insights into the impact of climate change on the European beech (Fagus sylvatica), one of Europe's most widespread and ecologically important tree species.

Grasslands study finds increasing fertilizer use drastically reduces the number of flowers and insectsA new study by researchers at the University of Sussex and Rothamsted Research published on Jan. 20 in npj Biodiversity has revealed the devastating impact that increased fertilizer use has on agricultural grasslands.

The Arctic's 'Last Ice Area' May Vanish Even Faster Than PredictedThe 'Last Ice Area' is expected to be the final place in the Arctic where ice persists all year round even as our planet warms up – but a new study suggests the region, and the ecosystem that relies on it, are going to disappear sooner than previously estimated.
